The abundance of seafood found along the shore and Goa’s Portuguese colonial past have had a significant effect on the cuisine. Indian and Portuguese cuisines came together to create a unique culinary style that is defined by the use of spices like chilli, coriander, and turmeric.
As a result of this blending of cultures, Goan Fish Curry developed and is now an essential component of Goan identity. The meal is a representation of the rich traditions and history that have molded Goan culture throughout the ages.
